Abstract
The article provides a detailed account of the marriage equality debates in California from 2004 to 2008, highlighting key events such as the Winter of Love in 2004 and the Marriage Cases of 2005-08. It discusses legal battles, including the California Supreme Court's ruling that invalidated the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage. Various legal arguments were presented, with Attorney General Lockyer and Proposition 22 defenders taking different approaches. The article also mentions the launch of ProtectMarriage.com in 2005 to support a constitutional Super-DOMA ballot initiative and the successful campaign for Proposition 8 in 2008, which defined marriage as between a man and a woman.
